Spyre Therapeutics Set for Transformative 2026 with Six Anticipated Proof-of-Concept Readouts
WALTHAM, Mass., January 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYRE), a clinical-stage biotechnology firm focused on pioneering long-acting antibodies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and rheumatic diseases, has announced its key 2026 objectives, which include six expected proof-of-concept (POC) readouts from ongoing clinical trials. These milestones aim to redefine the standard of care in these therapeutic areas and could propel the company into an exciting phase of development.
Overview of Expected Readouts in 2026
Spyre Therapeutics plans to deliver three POC readouts from the SKYLINE platform trial in ulcerative colitis (UC) and another three from the SKYWAY basket trial, targeting rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
- SKYLINE Trial: Focused on ulcerative colitis with accelerated Part A readouts expected to commence in Q2 2026.
- SKYWAY Trial: Enrolling participants with all readouts anticipated by Q4 2026.
Additionally, Spyre has appointed Kate Tansey Chevlen as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), bringing nearly two decades of experience in biopharma from Amgen.
Leadership Insights and Company Strategy
Cameron Turtle, DPhil, CEO of Spyre, emphasized the significance of the six expected readouts, stating, “The potential of these products, whether as monotherapies or in combination, is to meaningfully improve the quality of life for patients suffering from IBD and rheumatic diseases.” He also noted the importance of Chevlen's expertise in shaping their Phase 3 strategy as the company prepares for late-stage development in 2027.
Financial Health and Cash Position
As of September 30, 2025, Spyre Therapeutics reported a robust pro forma cash balance of $783 million, comprising cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. This strong financial position is expected to provide a cash runway into the second half of 2028, positioning SYRE for future growth.
Clinical Trial Updates
The SKYLINE trial (NCT07012395) is a Phase 2 platform study evaluating SPY001, SPY002, and SPY003, alongside their combinations, in patients with moderately to severely active UC. The trial consists of two parts: Part A, an open-label study assessing monotherapies, and Part B, a randomized and placebo-controlled assessment.
Enrollment in Part A has exceeded expectations, with SPY001’s enrollment completed ahead of schedule. The initial readouts for Part A are now projected for Q2 2026. Meanwhile, the SKYWAY trial (NCT07148414) is also progressing well, tracking performance with expected readouts in Q4 2026 across RA, PsA, and axSpA indications.
